Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Been keeping my eyes on this one, and trying to will the counter to speed up. Good luck to all participants, and I hope lots of pennies are raised for the charity. aiwebs_004

Edit: That reminds me - were any records beaten live last year? I have RCR in my head for some reason. Did that happen? If so, was it the only one?

One shall stand, one shall ball.

I think River City Ransom did break a record, Sonic 3 and Knuckles may have beaten some kind of record at some point as well.

Don't know how much of this marathon I'm going to be seeing, hopefully I'll pop in when good games are being played though, but I get the feeling I'll show up smack in the middle of than Metal Gear Solid/Resident Evil block and hate it.

Hope it makes even half of what it brought in last year though, kind of hard to imagine them matching or beating it. But we were surprised last year so who knows!

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Just to save me setting up an account there: The box above the chat was showing who was playing, but it's now defaulted back to Arrow's SMG2 run. That right?
